Do the musicians who lead worship at your church get paid for their services?
I'm asking from the perspective of a non-paid worship leader (me).The ultimate answer is that you have to do what you have to do. Are you happy with what you get for free?
You also have to decide what you want. If you want a professional caliber orchestra to perform at a high level, do multiple services a week + concerts, attend multiple practices per week.... or are you OK with most of the members (including the leader) doing well if they are usually at Sunday morning service and perhaps doing 1 or 2 practices a month because of family and job responsibilities.....
Many churches have fantastic volunteers who do most Sunday mornings with no pay. Many churches have to pay everybody because there is considerable demand in their area for a fairly small pool of worship teams.... Or if they want high caliber professional musicians to bring their A game.....
Typically Worship Pastors with a major in music at a Christian college will command a salary. Which is justifiable since this is what they pursued as their profession.Do the musicians who lead worship at your church get paid for their services?
